WOOD-FILLER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 782,252, dated February .14, 1905.

Application filed August 25, 1903. Serial No. 170,715.

To 1 77 It'll-OWL it 71mg concern:

Be it known that I, Snrnox D. KUDYsori, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in \Vood-Fillers, of which the following is a specification.

)Iy invention consists of a wood-tiller the into a filling material must be varied to meet 1 the requirements of each batch. In general the treatment consists of grinding it in water, neutralizing it with milk of lime or water of baryta," which also tends to remove the empyreumaticodoranddrying. Thisdryand substantially neutral material is then mixed with a volatile liquid, which may be varied to suit the variety and condition of the wood to be filled. Thus water, alcohol, benzin, or

tm-pentinc maybe successfully employed. If desired, a coloring-matter may be added; but it is to be understood that the term colored in the claims does not refer especially to this colored condition normally present in the residuum on account of the constituents by which the residuum d itfcrs from pure gypsum. The pulp-like liller thus produced may be rubbed and stuffed into the wood in the usual manner, preferably by using an absorptive textile pad, as of cheese-cloth, and by working chiefly across the grain.

The tiller is quickly applied, effective, and produces a clear surface with a dark shade, due to the empyreumatic nature of the residuum, which brings out the grain of the wood very distinctly.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A wood-tiller consisting of the impure colored residuum obtained in the process of manufacturing acetic acid from lime acetate and a volatile liquid.

A wood-tiller consisting of the impure colored residuum obtained in the process of manufactm'ing acetic acid from lime acetate neutralized and reduced to a pulp-like condition by combining therewith a volatile liquid.
